Under the Info Center and Media Resources tab click on Letters. They are listed under "Coalition Letters to Congress Seeking Farm Bill Veto Override." There are some interesting groups there, and a few I had never thought, much less heard of. Here is an excerpt from the letter that just jerked my chain-<BR/>"“This is by no means a perfect piece of legislation, and none of our organizations achieved everything we had individually requested. However, it is a carefully balanced compromise of policy priorities that has broad support among organizations representing the nation’s agriculture, conservation, and nutrition interests.”<BR/> Should we not expect better from our Congress?? Much like the performance/pay scale of athlete's,(as you posted earlier), they are making enough to pass at least a fair piece of legislation. After all they don't mind going after an individual and holding them to a higher standard in the name of The American People. No wonder they call it "pork-barreling", there's enough fat to give us all cardiac problems. But I digress...I don't know which company makes that "Red Tape", but I hope they go out of business soon..but the "Gubber-Mint" might just bail them out, huh??Ol Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08104714377087960892noreply@blogger.com
